In 1532, the magnificent Inca empire was the last great civilization still isolated from the rest of humankind. The Conquest of the Incas is the definitive history of this civilization's overthrow, from the invasion by Pizarro's small gang of conquistadors and the Incas' valiant attempts to expel the invaders to the destruction of the Inca realm, the oppression of its people, and the modern discoveries of Machu Picchu and the lost city of Vilcabamba.
This authoritative, wide-ranging account, grounded in meticulous research and firsthand knowledge and told from the viewpoints of both protagonists, "keeps all the complex issues to the fore...the deeper wonder of the conquest and the deeper horror of its results" (Washington Post).

Highly recommended
The Incas thoroughly defined and explored
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The downside, as an audiobook, is that you don't have access to the maps and pictures. The publisher could have put them on the web. So, I guess, my story rating was decreased not by the author but rather the publisher.
Fortunately, having been to Peru and Ecuador I have some basic idea about geography although not in enough detail for this book. I finally just quit worrying about exact locations of events in the book (other than major cities, etc) and that really helped.
The narrator was excellent and I enjoyed the last chapter on the search for the site of Urubamba.
If you're traveling to Peru, I'd certainly recommend this before you go.
Very detailed.
